If the Ls1's had a factory "stock" class like the Fords I bet it would easily get done.

Apparantly the clue train missed a stop...

But I don't think anyone has ever tried... At least not that I know of
Yeah, those bolt on guys in the low 11's/high 10's haven't even considered how to get more power out of their engines...

Are you guys serious, or did this just turn into a joke thread without me noticing?

This is what is reffered to as the clue train. The last stop is you.

Nevermind, I'm sure the short bus will be around to pick you up soon anyway, since you obviously missed the train.

I.E., the clue train, since you aren't too bright.

LS6 cars make it, somewhat rarely (becoming more common), but they do reach that mark. I think it is all in the cam. With a better cam, you can get 400rwhp, but on a stock LS1 cam, there is no posiblity.

I have never nor do I think I ever will, hear of a 400rwhp bolt on LS1......

BTW, you all say 350....that is very low, I have personaly encountered a buddy's WS6 get over 360 with headers, lid and dynomouth. No pully either....

Then again, his car is stupid fast for what he has, I haven't heard of anything else that high, at least not local.

o really and how do you figure that dude i din't even post your way till you started picking on me o and by the way the thread is how to get a car to 400 rwhp with bolts on, no body said anything about tunning maibe for some thats a given and for some it's not i din't factor in that you guys where already including that in, soo quit talking **** ok you can easylly get 20 hp with a tune on a car thats never been tuned thats what i meant to say, ok now quit talking **** you can't back up Tampa in only 2 hours away from Fort laud Fl, so shut up or else we might have to meet up if you not to much of a *****? *****.

for those of you that actually got into this thread because of the tittle i apologise for the mud fest this turned into, i never though a simple post would have pissed this guy off so much.

I don't think it can be done with bolt ons either. In order to get to 400 hp, at least a few stick ons would be needed as well. And lets not forget, while we don't have official numbers, one member in particular has breached the 200mph mark with "strap on body parts".

whao!!!!!!!!!! I didnt mean to cause such a commotion, I was just a lil curious since I'm still a little ignorant to the potiential that our cars may have or not have. And after hering so many good points from all of you, would it be safe to assume 380 rwhp with bolt-on's? And if so what kind of 1/4 mile eta would that be?

380rwhp is on the very high end of what you can expect out of a bolt on LS1. You can run mid 11's with that though with the right setup.

ok at the risk of starting even more comotion i am gona say that with good tires and if you can drive you will see 12's with that much power, depending on your abilities you'll see high 12's to near mid 12's.

Now if anyone disagrees with my statement please say so in an orderly name there is no need to start talking bout clues, and trains and calling someone stupid just couse you disagree with me. sp please if you disagree let me know the proper way.

Edit: oopps unit beated me to it, yea 11's sound more like it but after what i seen in this thread i figure i might as well stay on the extremely conservative side and avoid any more discruntal members out there.
